Millburn Board of Ed: Seven running for three seats

The Item of Millburn and Short Hills

There will be a contested race in the November General Election for three open seats on the Millburn Board of Education.

At today's 4 p.m. deadline for filing petitions with the Essex County Clerk's Office, petitions for seven residents had been received, county officials told The Item of Millburn and Short Hills this afternoon.

The candidates are Regina Truitt, the board's current vice president who is seeking a second term; James E. Kasdon; Jane Gomez; Jesse Liu; Jyoti B. Sharma; Milton E. Resnick; and Richard M. Gray.

The board's current president, Jeffrey Waters, and board member Chase Harrison, whose terms, along with Truitt's, expire in January, declined to run in this year's school elections.

Winners of the three open seats in the Nov. 4 election will be sworn in at the board's reorganization meeting in January.

While in previous years, school board elections were held separately in April, recent state law allows communities to conduct elections for school board seats during the November General Elections. According to the New Jersey School Board Association, most New Jersey school boards have opted for the November election date.

This is the third year the Millburn public school district will hold elections in November.
